And here’s the kicker-he was only 7 when it all went down at an RV park in a tiny Texas town. But wait until you hear the story behind his confession-It's even more unbelievable.
What do you think makes a child commit such a serious crime?

You're not going to fix this kid. He'll be walking the streets, commit all sorts of things, hurt numerous people, spend stints in and out of jail and then may finally get imprisoned for a decent sentence for something horrific after leaving a trial of carnage in his wake. We see this story play out over and over in our true crime genre. It's despicable.
I hope that if this monster continues this path (more than likely he will because his parents seem indifferent) that he will finally get the prison justice he deserves.
First degree murder in first grade? Kid needs to be punished in an institution for this. Not jail but real full time therapy.
Of course yes I fully agree with you, we had two 10 yr olykids who killed a 2yr old over here and both were released at 18, one went crazy and been locked up since but the other were told has settled in well.
@@DaveSCameron yes I think I know the case, the James Bulger case. It was so brutal it shocked the world! I just don’t know how much therapy and “help” can even save people that could do that, at any age. Empathy is something you are kind of born with and then develop from strong loving relationships with your parents (in general) if you don’t have empathy then you pretty don’t and can’t force on people. Empathy is a basic human emotion required to live and thrive in society and without it you have problems and evil deeds.
It's scary that because he pulled off his 1st murder; he felt comfortable threatening someone else. If Grandpa had a new gun would he carry out that threat too?
He probably would carry out that threat. This... THING is definitely a psychopath.
Not necessarily a gun, he probably would go to the knife . Sometimes, they like a drawen out drama. Knives can take longer cruelty to die. More blood, sometimes, I believe evil people get off on cruelty.
@@keepingthefaith9041 Oh yeah, I totally agree with you. And this monster would love to inflict a lot of pain on his victims, so he probably would use a knife on his next victim. Let's hope that never ever happens.
Damien is very fitting
What's scary to me is that he killed the guy and never told anyone, most kids would have run their mouth and told someone. He killed him and went on like nothing happened. We know his feelings are off, no remorse, no feelings at all.
right? i think that, combined w the fact that grandpa pawned the gun, makes for a fishy story.
Keeping it to himself for 3 years shows that at age 7 he knew the difference between right and wrong.
This is the craziest case I think I’ve heard. 7 years old and kills without a second thought and then threatens others the kid should be locked up in a psychiatric facility for life. He would definitely murder again if he was set free. And grandpa should be charged for not locking up his firearm. Just crazy! Great job Amy!
That's the maddest story ever. Most 7 yr old wouldn't dare to walk into a strangers home. But the scariest part for me is how calm he is about it. He needs a lot of help for a very long time.
My granddaughter is 8, and as I watch her play what this kid did stuns me.
I live here. It was terrifying when this kid made that threat on the schoolbus. My son lives across the street from the killer's elementary school in Seguin (when he's with dad). This is an awful oversight in TX law where kids can't be prosecuted for gun crimes, and roam free to terrorize others. I'm worried things will be much worse until the law changes. Thank you Amy, for bringing awareness with this story!!
What about the boys who murdered James Bulger, they were 10 and they were sent to prison.
That was the UK.
Well you see, deannemediati584, that was in Britain. This happened in the States; namely Texas.
I know it was in the UK ...just saying.
@@RByrneyes-- and that's the amazing thing. UK known for its weak punishments for crime and Texas known for its tough on crime justice system. Yet...
Also Remember in the middle east they are teaching children in 1st grade to kill people. We have al, seen the films. By 9 they are carrying machine guns & bombs. Etc..
They need to bring the Bible back into the schools. Were America got its morals from.
Nine-years-old, and he killed Brandon Raspberry in his sleep without giving it a thought. No pity, no guilt, no sense of remorse, either. And he threatened someone else at school, to boot. I don't know if he can ever be "fixed", so to speak. I think he was born evil, personally. The grandfather needs to be held accountable, for two reasons: 1) his gun was in the truck. It wasn't locked away for "safe keeping". It was just lying out in the open, and 2) the gun was pawned soon after Brandon's murder. That, to me, says that he knew what the little s***stain did, and got rid of the incriminating evidence.
I guess that's it for now, TCR Fam.
Be good, be kind, don't litter, be genuine and take care of one another.
Actually seven years old when he committed the murder.
@@peternolan4107 I stand corrected. Thanks for correcting me on my error, Peter.
That kid is doomed for life.
Yes. Especially since the parents don't seem to care that they brought a psychopath into the world and still won't seek help for him.
True crime weekends with Amy and Chris = perfection! ❤
And the kids grandfather left a gun, unsecured, in the glove compartment of his truck and his seven year old grandson had full access to it......what demented universe do these people live in?
A trailer park
Texas.
“Damien..!” 😂😂😂 perfect choice Amy. Thanks again for another shocker! 🇬🇧🇬🇧👏
So hard to think that a 7 year old would need this kind of prosecution! In this case his grandfather should, for leaving the gun accessible to the boy.
Thanks for the recap Amy and Chris! ❤
I have no words!!! Thanks Amy ❤
It's so sad that people can take another person life. What the hell is wrong with kids and people that kill. It's so sad and dangerous. Where is there a place where you can be safe. God help us. Thanks Amy love to you and Chris. Be safe!💕💕💕💕
💕Ms C
So happy to have found you guys again❤👏👍❤️ PS LOVE your hair Amy .
😊 thank you love!🧡
The hair is definitely on point!
It's just crazy nowadays when I read the news. Kids younger and younger resorting to vicious crimes. God help us all....and I for one, am thankful I don't have kids. Thanks, Amy for your opinion too!❤
I cant think what Grandad was thinking to leave a loaded weapon there knowing he was leaving the boy in the car alone to access it right in front of his seat. Kids fiddle around and would defo look in a glove box. But different from the Crumbley's I suppose due to them KNOWING their son had severe psychiatric problems, had voiced about killing and then leaving guns all over the house for him to access, with that prior knowledge.
Good evening, Amy and Chris. It's great to see you.
I hope you're having a great weekend.
We are Mary! Thanks a million! Hope you are well!
Thanks Amy! I haven't heard this story. Greetings from Las Vegas.
Greetings!!
Yay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I needed this today! Thank you for posting!
You are so welcome!
When gun owners are negligent? By not securing their weapons, they should definitely be held liable for any crime committed with their weapon. Thank you Amy.
It was nice to see Ethan Crumbley’s parents face charges for making a gun accessible to a kid. I’m all for gun rights, and these people’s actions have consequences for law abiding citizens and responsible gun owners. The parents need to face charges for every time a shooting happens from an unsecured firearm. I grew up with guns in the house, and they were locked up in a safe. There was a pistol in my dads nightstand, because we were burglarized by drug addicts, and the most stern talk I’ve ever had was when my dad showed it to me, and told me that if I ever touched it, he would beat me senseless. He said that he would teach me gun safety and how to shoot. He’d actually followed through on his threat to spank me with a belt, and I just knew I didn’t want that belt ever again. He told me that if I touched that pistol I would get the worst belt session of my life. I was absolutely terrified, and I didn’t ever touch it.
@@subrosa4792the problem now is you couldn’t even say that to a child without feeling the wrath for it, should the relevant authorities find out. Kids rule the roost and some use it to their advantage.
"you can think of him as, Damien" 😭💀
I live in MD and hear about young kids in Bmore walking around the Inner Harbor in groups fighting each other and ppl enjoying the Inner Harbor, some have stabbed/shot others... It just seems like there's no guidance/control for the youth these days, the part is it almost seems like this is how the government wants it with the ridiculous laws they put in place
Hey Amy! 🩷
Hey!! What's up Ash & Emi!!
Hi, Ash. Hello, Emi. I hope you and yours are doing okay in Texas after that storm hit yesterday.
Baby Israel Keyes 😂
Yikes!
Whats happened to Americans?
Americans have worshiped firearms long before now. How do you think we created this country? Genocide and slavery.
Ggiirrlll, you asked the one question I wanna know, WHAT HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE TO MAKE HIM WANNA DO THAT THOUGH!!!!! NO REMORSE, NO EMPATHY!!!! NOTHING!! WHAT A SAD WORLD WE LIVE IN NOWADAYS!!!! You're so right though, he should've been fishing and playing outside!!!!! Thanks Amy!!!! This is such a heartbreaking case!!!!!
7 years old, give or take a year, has long been considered the age of reason. Unless he's developmentally disabled or insane, he's responsible for his actions.
That shit is crazy. What makes a 7 year old shoot a man i. The head? Curiosity? Boredom? Evilness?
❤Thank you Amy❤
Our pleasure Bridgett!
Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada ❤
Thanks for watching!
This world is crazy ..
While rehabilitation is possible it takes progress in that direction for it to happen. If the kid is not being rehabilitated chances are good that he will kill again. Crazy story!
7yoa holy 🐄 cheers Amy ❤❤❤
Cheers!
In Canada, under 12yrs old is untouchable by law. They will go after the parents in some cases or maybe psychiatric car for the kid, but they cant be charged.
Something like this just happened a few months a go in Utah too... 9 year old...
Wtf is going on with these kids..?
What a strange and sad story. And you're right, he does need Jesus. We all do 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wonder if it's possible that the child was mimicking behavior that he saw, like an animal being shot in the head with the gun? Idk, but it is shocking that someone so young could commit such a horrendous crime.
My God!! Crazy
Wow, devestating. RIP 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
He sounds like a budding serial killer in the making. I hope he never sees the light of day. To be this evil this young he is a serious threat to everyone.
I can see his future jail time after jail time, I’m no fortune teller 😡
Thanks for the recap.
First, our society needs to stop allowing children to think that they are allowed to play with anything that they can reach. That may sound harsh, but the world will always be a place of dangerous things. If a child is old enough to get into things on his or her own, the child should have already been taught many times not to touch things without permission. That sounds harsh, but we can't keep kids away from everything that could hurt them. We have to start training them from an early age not to play with things that aren't theirs.
A part of that is teaching kids not to go into places where they don't belong. I knew by the time I was six years old that I wasn't supposed to go into other people's houses without permission. That this kid thought it was okay to go exploring in a stranger's home is another sign that the kid was either very poorly raised or a psychopath of some kind.
Secondly, the grandfather shouldn't be charged. We allow kids to think that they can play with anything that they find, but the chances of a kid finding a gun and shooting someone this way are incredibly low unless the kid is already a psychopath of some kind. A psychopath might understand the function of a real gun that way and do what this kid did, but for a regular kid, that's very unusual. If I'm on that jury, I'm voting not guilty.
Thirdly, I understand that the school can't release details of the threat made against the other kid. However, the details of that threat might be an indication of psychopathy. The authorities should be investigating that threat from the point of view that this child has a mental defect that makes him very dangerous. They may not be able to prosecute him for the crime, but he should be considered for civil commitment on a permanent basis.
I wonder since he's only 7 if he even comprehended the concept of death completely. Most children I know this age would consider it like a game. Desensitized by gaming possibly. Especially since it was a stranger. It is such a tragedy regardless. And off suspect here, your hair is amazing, how do you get it so shiny?
In Ethan's case, the parents were prosecuted because they bought the gun for him knowing he had anger issues.
Look, mental health is obviously a big problem. But an even bigger problem in America is the fact that everybody needs to hold a gun. Which means guns are within the reach of children at almost all times. Of course this kind of shit's going to happen. And of course the kids should go to jail but won't. Sad. Thanks for telling me the story so well again Amy, you're absolutely incredible.
Americans can't wrap their heads around this. i'm Australian and never laid eyes on a gun in my life.
@@Mia_____________ yeah, I'm Canadian. I don't understand it.
I do not believe the average gun owner has guns accessible to children. Their are laws about trigger guard locks and I know plenty of people who keep their guns in lock boxes.
Something bad happened to that boy. 7 year old children don't do things like that unless there's been some sort of severe trauma.
So we have a grandfather who keeps an unsecured and loaded handgun where his 7 year old grandson has access to it. Then after learning a neighbor was murdered withij walking distance of his grandson and two rounds had been fired from his handgun, which is the same caliber as the murder weapon, pawns the gun to get rid of it and now people want to change laws to charge a child with murder rather than change laws to require gun owners to store their weapons responsibly.
The grandfather would have to be really reckless and uncaring to not realize the gun had been used before pawning it and that his grandson had access to it right at the time of the murder. Instead of going to police he got rid of the gun.
Even if it is hard to prove his intent that is absolutely aiding and abetting a murder.
But i guess the USA would rather prosecute a child than legally require gun owners to be responsible with storing their guns.
You are not kidding when you say This child needs Jesus. There are no good options for him What a tragedy
the age restriction on culpability is an age-old part of Common Law, nothing new & should not be changed.
This guy lost his life for nothing. Life is just unfair man
Thank you for the great recaps.
Enjoy some coffee ☕️ on me
You are such a dear Mary, thank you!💖☕
I think it's bs that this psychopath who happens to be a kid is getting away with murder. It's no wonder criminals who commit violent crimes are getting younger. If this murderers parents care about him and want to be decent people,they will put him away somewhere at least until he's 18. The fact that he felt no remorse for what he did in spite of knowing what he did is an indication of a psychopath. He was born evil to be doing what he did at such a young age. Since he has no empathy he shouldn't be treated as a child but an adult. I can have sympathy for psychopaths even if they are kids.
The mental compactly isn't there to it.
He will sadly hurt people in his life, no good can come of a kid like this without some help from a mental health standpoint
We’ll think of him as …Damian haha Amy
Amy, you need some serious bling on those digits 🤩❤️🦩
Michael Myers springs to mind. This kid needs therapy before he kills again
It would be OUT OF THE QUESTION. The gun was in a vehicle and not where the child was. This 7 yr old also didnt beg his grandfather for mental help....
How long after the murder did grandpa pawn the gun?
Thank you Amy, yes the grampa shud be held accountable as well... the child definitely needs pysicatric help😢💔, poor Brandon, RIP ❤☦️🕯🕊🙏🏽🪶
I just love the way you articulate a story❤
thank you!
I thought the federal of responsibility was 7? Child killers are rare, but the things that create adult killers start in childhood. We definitely need better mental health & child services.
A killer is a killer. This kid is evil
What makes an 8yr old commit a serious crime or specifically a violent serious crime, shoot someone dead?
IMO it's a sense of injustice and anger or rage even? That's what would make a young boy do such a thing imo?
He's a child. I can't imagine being blamed for my actions as as an eight year old. Definitely needs severe intervention, though. And yes, the grandfather needs to be held accountable.
That’s what’s wrong with the world- kids aren’t being held responsible for their actions. No hall passes on pre-meditated mvrder - no matter how old. Wasn’t Grandpa’s fault.
When I was 7-- I was rescuing injured animals. A 7 or 8 yr old knows it's bad to kill anything, let alone, a human.
A little kid shouldn't be killing anybody. Fish included.
Sweet baby Jesus! What happened to this little child so he acted like that. Where did he learned this behavior?
Or if he has a mental illness (I know, he’s young to have a diagnosic, but you know what I mean), what signs did his family tossed under the rug?
Thanks Amy, another great recap. You even made me laugh so hard! “He needs Jesus” was so felt, it took me by surprise 😂😂😂 although I don’t think Jesus alone can do anything about this boy. We need the holy trinity 😂 and even then 😩
😮
I dont if its a sign for the times or isolated incident but a 7 year old!!!! Murdering someone for no reason is chilling and formidable. I hope phycologists can figure out why this happened
I can't imagine looking at this story and thinking that keeping an unsecured and loaded handgun where a child can access it should be a serious crime.
But 'murica i guess so let's blame the child for doing something stupid instead of the gun owner for being criminally reckless with a deadly weapon around his grandson.
Antisocial personality disorder. Very difficult to treat. It cannot be medicated except for secondary symptoms of depression and anxiety, for example. Personality disorders used to be called “character disorders” but since society seems to have tossed moral constructs out the window now the diagnosis is either Antisocial or Psychopathic Disorder. So yes, that boy needs Jesus Christ. May God have mercy. Thank you for an excellent video.
Hi Amy, where's Chris? I havent seen him in a while on here
Hi! He'll be presenting our next video on Wednesday :)
@TrueCrimeRecaps Awesome, sorry I was just a little worried, I haven't seen him in a while, I've been hearing so much about break ups and separations lately, wishing you are both well
💕💞💕💞💕♥️♥️
27 years in the social work field. Specializing in cognitive remediation. Do a deep dive into the immediate family.
She said it: "This child needs Jesus". He certainly does . . . . Let's pray for him & the children!
This child needs an exorcist!!
👍🏻👊🏻🏴🔥
In Austria you have to be 14 to be put in juvie 🙄
2 minutes on Twitter and you see 20 videos of little thugs playing ganster or it's psycho serial killer that couldn't find an animal to mane
Could 'grandpaw' have had something to do with this murder?
❤❤✌️
True words spoken Amy. The boy needs Jesus.
How could a 7yr old truly know the consequences of his actions when he's surrounded by violent video games, violent news bulletins & violent movies? I think this may be more of an issue about keeping your firearms locked in a safe place, rather than psycho 7-year-olds on the rampage. I could be wrong; he could be born evil...Time will tell, I guess...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Neither Jesus nor law enforcement nor psychiatry will fix this kid. Some people are just born homicidal, like Ted Bundy. What they do with him is a good question. They can't just let him live among other people, can they?
Sloppy police work why didn't they check all guns on the park
Video game’s desensitization. Raw killing no remorse. Just wondering 🤔
Did u watch Chucky as a child? That looks real...
Scary part...I live in Texas and in a RV park. Like 4 hours away from San Antonio.
Rotten society
This was in Texas, correct? Don't expect things to improve. The Governor just granted a full pardon to a convicted murderer of a BLM protestor.
You meant he pardoned someone defending their life from someone with a rifle while attending a riot.
There were unlocked guns all around my house growing up in the seventies. Knowing what my dad would do to me kept me from touching them.
Same. Dad taught us from the time we started walking to never touch the guns unless he was with us. Took gun safety courses when we were a bit older. Taught guns are tools not toys. ...
Unfortunately, some people are just wired wrong and there isn't a whole lot we can do except try and keep them from hurting others
I sound like a broken record but imagine if the so called great united states banned all guns!! That would considerably lower gun crime!!
The founding fathers just rolled over in their graves. Quit disturbing them. 🤫
@@Reclaim-the-Rainbow it still baffles me how a country that thinks so much of itself is still going by the rules made by old men, hundreds of years ago! They had a right to bear arms.... They had powder guns that took a time to load! Not like guns today, the country is so backward it doesn't know which way is forward!!
Yes it would also just mean that the bad guys are the only ones with guns 🤷🏼♀️ criminals don’t pay attention to laws so either way they’d still own them
The owner of the gun should have been charged with Manslaughter plus the parents should also be charged. And the boy doesn't need Jesus he needs better parents.
Sounds like there is a high risk that he may! 🙏🏼 he does find Jesus
And people are still insisting that violent movies and video games and news stories don’t make kids and youths inexplicably violent, even psychopathic. Inuring human beings, especially kids, to random violence and disconnection from their human instincts of empathy and compassion, can only lead to increasing psychopathy and sociopathy. It’s past time we started addressing these sociological issues that affect all of us.
There's no evidence that was the case here.
They are lucky that kid even confessed to that murder. Threatening another child? Yes get him intense therapy and pray it works! Thanks Amy and Chris love and appreciate all you do!
